The Freedom Stone

Subject like kinda says it all,
Wondering how long it takes to get story-posts moderator approved/publicly seen?

Usually not that long, but I haven't been online in a couple of days so I'm swimming through bots. Is there something you needed approved?

Never mind! I found it. Should be posted now.

Thanks
Was wondering, do posts always need to be Mod-approved before they go up, or is it a new/probationary member thing? Either way is fine, but just thought I'd ask, so I know what to expect. Sorry about your having to deal with bot-swarms. I Admin'd a writing site much like The Freedom Stone for several years, so I know what a migraine deleting all the Ad-bots can be. Especially if the site architecture doesn't have mass-delete mod-functions.

Glad to see you're faithfully minding the site. Again in parallel, my old site became a very infrequently visited locale after awhile as well. Here's hoping The Freedom Stone doesn't follow it into the Void

I believe it's just a new member thing. I'll talk to Flence about seeing what we can do about that, but what frankly happened is that it came down to either putting a mod approval hold on new posts from new members or basically IP banning a giant chunk of two continents (since most of the botnet traffic comes from Asia and Eastern Europe). It might unfortunately just come down to that.

Hey,
Don't mean to be a pain, but I've got three Chapters in limbo. The third and fourth for awhile now. It's not a huge deal, but thought I'd mention it. It's difficult to get over the new member post-hump, when the forum activity is so light, yanno?

Thanks in advance

And my life is no longer... interesting.  I've gone through and approved all your posts, Wyldwraith and I'll try and keep a better eye on the forums in the future.
